Here in the Monadnock region of NH, where I call mostly community, school
and camp "barn dances," whenever there are folks over 60 they invariably
request, "Oh, Johnny, Oh"!

I apparently scribbled this on a card after dancing it, but never got the
name and author. I?m also not completely confident that I wrote it
accurately so am hoping to find a video of it somewhere.
It?s improper.
A1 Star Rt 1/2 way; men drop out and loop behind partner as the women
continue to turn; men rejoin the star and all end up where they started
Repeat
A2 Hey for four (I assume women start by the Left?)
B1 Partner Bal and Swg
B2 Women chain, Left hand star
Thanks for even considering helping me out with this.

http://www.quiteapair.us/calling/acdol/dance/acd_112.html
The A1 should be:
RHS 1/2, gents loop back to fall in behind partner
RHS 1/2, gents loop back at home and face across while the ladies
allemande R 3/4 to face partner
Hey starts passing partner by L shoulder
Is this possibly going to show up in your program saturday? It's a
great dance and it's been a long time since I've gotten to dance it.

Hello folks,
?
I am considering a recording project?that spans the?gap between modern
club dancing and traditional squares.? From a traditional perspective, what
are the most common singing calls in your area of the country?? What are
the most well received by the dancers?? Are there any that you wish were
available in an instrumental?pre-recorded version??
?
My vision is to use traditional dance figures with traditional music in?a
format?that club? callers would use and that club dancers would enjoy.?
(That typically means 7x64? beats)
?
I have enjoyed Ralph Sweet's recent CD and Bob Dalsemer's two sets,? Some
of those songs would be appropriate for my project as well as songs like
Goodbye My Lady Love, and many others.
?
I'd appreciate any input and/or suggestions.

Dave,
I came up with that variation on my own but that doesn't make me the
first to do so.
To me and others the variation is pretty obvious.

CDSS just published Nils Fredland's work "New River Train, Square Dances
from the Collection of Keith Blackmon". There's a lot of 30s-40s-50s
popular songs in that book. Living in the area, I'm certainly biased,
but I would hope some of those might pick up popularity in the rest of
the country.

If you don't have the two collections of singing squares that Nils
Fredland has edited, you may want to check them out. In the case of Oh
Johnny, the chorus is a grand square.
Here are links to the CDSS store pages for the two collections.

I apparently scribbled this on a card after dancing it, but never got the
name and author. I?m also not completely confident that I wrote it
accurately so am hoping to find a video of it somewhere.
It?s improper.
A1 Star Rt 1/2 way; men drop out and loop behind partner as the women
continue to turn; men rejoin the star and all end up where they started
Repeat
A2 Hey for four (I assume women start by the Left?)
B1 Partner Bal and Swg
B2 Women chain, Left hand star
Thanks for even considering helping me out with this.

The name is Of The Mills by John Gallagher
It can be found here:
http://www.quiteapair.us/calling/acdol/dance/acd_112.html
The A1 should be:
RHS 1/2, gents loop back to fall in behind partner
RHS 1/2, gents loop back at home and face across while the ladies
allemande R 3/4 to face partner
Hey starts passing partner by L shoulder
Is this possibly going to show up in your program saturday? It's a
great dance and it's been a long time since I've gotten to dance it.

Hello folks,
?
I am considering a recording project?that spans the?gap between modern
club dancing and traditional squares.? From a traditional perspective, what
are the most common singing calls in your area of the country?? What are
the most well received by the dancers?? Are there any that you wish were
available in an instrumental?pre-recorded version??
?
My vision is to use traditional dance figures with traditional music in?a
format?that club? callers would use and that club dancers would enjoy.?
(That typically means 7x64? beats)
?
I have enjoyed Ralph Sweet's recent CD and Bob Dalsemer's two sets,? Some
of those songs would be appropriate for my project as well as songs like
Goodbye My Lady Love, and many others.
?
I'd appreciate any input and/or suggestions.
?

Dave,
I came up with that variation on my own but that doesn't make me the
first to do so.
To me and others the variation is pretty obvious.

CDSS just published Nils Fredland's work "New River Train, Square Dances
from the Collection of Keith Blackmon". There's a lot of 30s-40s-50s
popular songs in that book. Living in the area, I'm certainly biased,
but I would hope some of those might pick up popularity in the rest of
the country.

Here in the Monadnock region of NH, where I call
mostly community,
school
and camp "barn dances," whenever there are folks over 60 they
invariably
request, "Oh, Johnny, Oh"!
Rich Sbardella then asked
Is there a dance figure tied to Oh Johnny?
and on Jul 6, 2013, at 11:31 AM, Jack Mitchell wrote:
If you don't have the two collections of singing
squares that Nils
Fredland has edited, you may want to check them out. In the case of
Oh Johnny, the chorus is a grand square.
...
The version of "Oh, Johnny" in Ralph Sweet's and Nils Fredland's book
_On the Beat with Ralph Sweet_, with the grand square in the chorus,
is a fine dance, and the recording of it on Ralph's album _Shindig in
the Barn_ is worth listening too. However, I wouldn't classify it as
appropriate for "community, school and camp 'barn dances'".
I believe Allison was referring to a simpler routine to the same
tune, seen, for example, in this video of a dance in Wentworth, NH,
with Lester Bradley calling:
http://squaredancehistory.org/items/show/776
( also http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IWRGauYCPwY )
In the video, the dance is done as a circle mixer. Here are Lester
Bradley's calls for the first round in the video:
All join hands and you circle the ring.
STOP where you are; give your honey a swing.
And now you swing that gal behind you.
["that gal behind you" = corner --js]
And leave her alone, go back and swing your own.
And now you allemande left with that corner girl.
You do-si-do your own.
Now you all promenade with that sweet corner maid,
Singin' "Oh, Johnny! Oh, Johnny! Oh!"
And now you all join hands ...
This circle mixer version, btw, is also found--with the same figures
and only slight differences in call wording--in Ralph Sweet's older
book _Let's Create "Old Tyme" Square Dancing_ (1966). It's also in
this 1949 callers' course syllabus by Ed Gilmore:
http://www.dosado.com/articles/gilmore.htm
(Gilmore specifies the initial circle as being to the right, but
otherwise the figures are the same.)
The circle mixer routine clearly would also work in a 4-couple square.
If anyone knows of an intro, break, or ending commonly associated with
this routine when set in a square, I'd like to know bout it.

Here's my set of words, worked out when I was producing a booklet to
go with a cassette of music for singing squares called "Square Dance
Saturday Night". The original words are by John Chatfield.
Break:
Bow to your partner, and swing your little love
Oh Johnny, oh Johnny, heavens above
Now circle left around that ring
And when you get back home - everybody face your own and
Do-si-do your partner; the men left-hand star.
It's once around you go.
Put your arm round your maid, do a star promenade
Singing oh Johnny, oh Johnny, oh.
Figure:
Head couples bow, and you swing your little love
Oh Johnny, oh Johnny, heavens above.
Now promenade outside that square
And when you get back home - everybody face your own and
Do-si-do your partner; the men left-hand star
It's once around you go.
Put your arm round your maid, do a star promenade
Singing oh Johnny, oh Johnny, oh.
